Who says Singaporeans cannot innovate? A quick newsflash: The IPoor T-shirt designed by our resident contributor, Brian Ling aka Design Translator has been featured on Chinese Engadget blog. For those who have read the story behind this IPoor from the articles “The Art of the Very Small Start” Part I and II. Now for the actual news.
DT started his design on the IPoor T-shirt a month ago, and went on from concept to actual commercialization, that led to now him being featured on Engadget Chinese. Here are some excerpts from the Chinese article (unfortunately, it’s in Mandarin):
å–œæÂ¡ iPod 的時尚感,åÂȌˆ苦於阮囊羞澀的貧窮貴公åÂÂ們有ç¦Â囉ï¼Â
國外æŸÂè¨Â計工åŠ巧妙地將 iPod 的造型與TæÂ¤çµÂåˆ,命åÂÂ為 iPoor,商å“Âå£號為:「我愛æÂ»å®ƒäº†ï¼Œä½†æˆ‘真的好窮ã€Â。首批é™Âé‡Â推出黑ã€Â白å„50件,æ¯Â件僅è¦Â價ä¸Â到å°幣500元(ä¸Âå«é‹費),怎麼算都是相當經濟實惠的超棒é¸擇。
Hey, from what I heard from DT over our recent chat, 40% of his stock is gone after the IPoor site launch on the first day.
For those who are interested in getting a IPoor T-Shirt, here is the IPoor site for you to do your online purchase.
Once again, we, in SG Entrepreneurs team, congratulate Brian for his achievements in turning an idea successfully into a business.
